<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a roller, achieving stable, as well as proper and uniform charging characteristic and output image quality, and to provide a process cartridge and an electrophotographic apparatus which is equipped with a roller. <P>SOLUTION: In this roller, an elastic layer B is provided on the outer periphery of a conductive substrate A, and a coating layer C formed of a single or multiple layers is provided on the elastic layer. In the roller, when the principal component of the coating layer C is polar resin or elastomer, the coating layer C contains polar wax whose melting point range is 90°C to 170°C, at least in the outermost surface layer E. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
